Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top gives this Stiletto a punchy, articulate voice with firm low end and clear note separation, while the dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups and active 2-band EQ add mid-range definition and enough output to stay present in dense mixes. Blending between the neck and bridge positions covers everything from rounder fingerstyle warmth to a tighter, more aggressive bridge bite. With a 34" scale, 24 X-Jumbo frets and a slim "C" maple neck, it handles rock and metal attack as readily as slap funk, jazz lines, and modern progressive playing.
Schecter Stiletto Extreme-4 Electric Bass See-Thru Black
The slim thin "C" neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo frets on this Schecter Stiletto Extreme-4 deliver fast tracking and responsive feel across extended tracking sessions. The see-through black finish reveals the quality construction underneath: a mahogany body with quilted maple top that produces punchy, articulate tone with excellent note clarity and sustain. Built for producers and engineers tracking bass across aggressive rock and metal as well as funk, jazz, and modern progressive styles, this instrument captures tonal versatility in the mix.
Recording & Studio Performance
The 34" scale and 1.496" nut width provide a stable platform for capturing both melodic bass lines and aggressive techniques like slapping, translating consistently to tape or DAW. At the 1st fret, the neck measures .787", tapering to .866" at the 12th fret—a profile engineered for repeatable intonation and consistency across multiple takes and session work.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Bass pickups paired with active 2-band EQ and master volume/blend controls deliver responsive mid-range definition and tight low-end that sits cleanly in dense mixes during post-production. The 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active circuit, maintaining consistent output and tonal control across overdubs and punch-ins throughout the recording session.
